Book excerpt: This thesis describes the development of a site specific early warning system for rainfall induced landslides. In New Zealand alone, rainfall induced landslides cause millions of dollars' worth of damage annually. Worldwide the toll is much greater, with thousands of fatalities and billions of dollars' worth of damage annually. The early warning system developed in this research is a means to mitigate the risk of such landslides. This thesis describes the underlying theory, the methodology used and results of the development of this early warning system. The early warning system is site specific, and based on the assumed failure mechanism of a slope subject to rainfall events of variable magnitude and intensity including prolonged events. The selected site, which the prototype of this early warning system was developed for, is located in Silverdale, New Zealand. A slope was formed at the site by a previous road cut operation to form State Highway One, which lies at the toe of the slope. A landslide occurred at the site in the winter of 2008 following a period of prolonged rainfall. The soil at the site consists of residual soil weathered from the Northland Allochthon formation. Previous research and experience within this soil group suggests it is particularly susceptible to rainfall induced landslides. A variety of laboratory tests were undertaken in this research to better understand the shear strength characteristics of the soil. The results obtained from consolidated drained and constant shear stress drained triaxial tests indicate that this soil may exhibit different shear strength parameters depending on the stress path associated with failure. Many site specific early warning systems have been developed in the literature, however they are usually based on explicitly stating a level which a measured parameter (pore-pressure for instance) must reach before a warning is given. The aim of this research was to develop an early warning system which alerts the user (a) to decrease of the factor of safety to a level defining overall failure or landslide occurrence and (b) the time-frame in which this failure may happen. For the purpose of this research, a factor of safety of one is defined as overall failure. This early warning system utilises field monitoring to determine the factor of safety of the slope against slope failure. Two sites are referred to throughout this thesis. One is the landsite site; the location of the 2008 landslide event. The other is the monitored site. Volumetric water content sensors were installed at various depths and locations along the same cross section of the site, approximately 40m away from the 2008 landslide site. A tipping bucket rain-gauge was used to monitor rainfall events. The rainfall record captured at the site was input into a finite element model (SEEP/W) to replicate the fluctuating water content observed at the monitored site. Once a good agreement was obtained, the matric suction/pore-water pressure profile was coupled with a limit equilibrium analyses (SLOPE/W). Thus, the factor of safety at each time step of the finite element model was obtained. An artificial neural network was trained to predict this factor of safety, using the corresponding readings of the volumetric sensors at the site as inputs. Next, the rate of change of this factor of safety (change of factor of safety with respect to time during a rainfall event) was used to estimate the time until failure. Finally, another artificial neural network was trained to predict the factor of safety at the site in the future, using rainfall forecasts for the site. The user of the early warning system can then use these predictions of the time until failure as a basis for taking any necessary action. For the given monitored site, it is recommended that if failure is predicted to occur within 5 hours, then the warning should consist of lowering speed limits. If failure is predicted to occur within 1 hour, than the warning should consist of diverting traffic to avoid the landslide site. The finite element model was reasonably successful at replicating the observed water content fluctuations in the field. A factor of safety of one was obtained for the 2008 landslide site, using the rainfall record leading up to the landslide failure (using the stratigraphy at the location of the 2008 landslide), verifying the modelling process. The artificial neural network could predict the factor of safety of the monitored site to a reasonable level, using the field monitoring data and rainfall forecasts as inputs, which can form the basis of an early warning system as a means to mitigate the risk of rainfall induced landslides.

Book excerpt: Globally, slope failures cause substantial death tolls and economic loss. Embankments constructed on high plasticity clay are vulnerable to cyclic swelling and shrinkage when subjected to climate. Thus, over time, soil softens and reduces effective shear strength, and shrinkage cracks on slopes can act as pathways for rainfall infiltration, which increases pore water pressure and lowers the shear strength below critical levels, resulting in slope failure. This study aims to develop early warning criteria for rainfall-induced slope failure. Study areas were Tarrant, Dallas, Johnson, and Ellis, where soil types and a humid subtropical climate result in frequent slope failures. The field study was conducted on a 260 ft section of a highway slope (3H:1V) located over US 287 near Midlothian, TX. The test slope sections were instrumented using moisture sensors, temperature sensors, water potential sensors, and a rain gauge. According to the geotechnical investigation, there are two distinct soil strata: top 22 feet high plasticity clay (CH), followed by Eagle Ford Shale. Hydraulic conductivity and shear strength of soils fluctuated seasonally. Field tests using the Guelph Permeameter and Mini-Disk Infiltrometer showed 100 times higher permeability at the surface than at two feet below ground due to loosen and porous soil at the surface. As measured by Dynamic Cone Penetration (DPC) tests, soil shear strength was higher in the dry season and lower in the wet season. According to field instrumentation, soil moisture content and soil matric suction change with depth throughout the year: surface soil experiences more changes than deeper soils. Water content fluctuates most at the top sensors (10%) than at the deeper levels (3%). During the dry season, soil matric suction increased, but decreased after each rainfall. A slope failure inventory map for the DFW area was developed based on previous literature, thesis, and Google Earth analyses. Seventy percent of failure events were observed on highways built in high plasticity clay soils in Tarrant and Dallas counties, where the Eagle Ford Shale predominates. A susceptibility map was developed for the study area based on the slope failure inventory, geology, and topography data. Based on the frequency ratio (FR) method, slope, soil, elevation, aspect, curvature, profile curvature, plan curvature, normalized vegetation index, and soil moisture index were weighted. According to the map, there are five levels of susceptibility: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The slope failure susceptibility model demonstrated a success rate of 71.54% and a prediction rate of 70.12%. Slope failures tend to increase with increased rainfall. Empirical thresholds such as Intensity-duration (ID), Event rainfall-duration (ED), Event rainfall-intensity (EI), daily rainfall-antecedent rainfall (3, 5, 10, and 30 days) were established. The numerical study (seepage and slope stability) demonstrated that rainfall duration has a significant impact on rainfall-induced slope failure. A high-intensity rainfall can lead to a drastic drop in pore-water pressure in a short period of time, resulting in slope failure much faster than a low-intensity rain. The slope becomes more vulnerable to failure if it cracks and faces a higher rainfall intensity. Based on a numerical simulation of a field slope section, site-specific thresholds of rainfall intensity and duration were developed and can be used to prevent slope failure caused by rainfall. The numerical model successfully replicated the failed field section at the edge of the study area which failed in 2020. Empirical thresholds predicted the failure as well. Therefore, the established thresholds may be a useful tool for regional slope failure warning systems to predict rainfall-induced slope failure.

This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides are destructive processes causing casualties and damage worldwide. The majority of the landslides are triggered by intense and/or prolonged rainfall. Therefore, the prediction of the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is an important scientific and social issue. To mitigate the risk posed by rainfall-induced landslides, landslide early warning systems (LEWS) can be built and applied at different scales as effective non-structural mitigation measures. Usually, the core of a LEWS is constituted of a mathematical model that predicts landslide occurrence in the monitored areas. In recent decades, rainfall thresholds have become a widespread and well established technique for the prediction of rainfall-induced landslides, and for the setting up of prototype or operational LEWS. A rainfall threshold expresses, with a mathematic law, the rainfall amount that, when reached or exceeded, is likely to trigger one or more landslides. Rainfall thresholds can be defined with relatively few parameters and are very straightforward to operate, because their application within LEWS is usually based only on the comparison of monitored and/or forecasted rainfall. This Special Issue collects contributions on the recent research advances or well-documented applications of rainfall thresholds, as well as other innovative methods for landslide prediction and early warning. Contributions regarding the description of a LEWS or single components of LEWS (e.g., monitoring approaches, forecasting models, communication strategies, and emergency management) are also welcome. We encourage, in particular, the submission of contributions concerning the definition and validation of rainfall thresholds, and their operative implementation in LEWS. Other approaches for the forecasting of landslides are also of interest, such as physically based modelling, hazard mapping, and the monitoring of hydrologic and geotechnical indicators, especially when described in the framework of an operational or prototype early warning system.

Book excerpt: Abstract : The Landslide Early Warning System (LEWS) is a non-structural approach to mitigate landslide risk by alerting vulnerable communities at an early stage. This study aimed to develop a regional LEWS for rain-induced shallow landslides in Idukki, a mountainous district in India with sparse rainfall data. The landslide model consists of a rainfall component and a slope stability component. Satellite precipitation data can be used in data-sparse regions, but they must be calibrated because they tend to underestimate rainfall. To improve the accuracy of satellite data, this study used a geostatistics-based multi-criteria approach to identify optimal locations to install new rain gauges, thus enhancing the rain gauge network's monitoring capability. A rainfall threshold was developed for Idukki, accounting for intra-seasonal variations in rainfall patterns and extreme rainfall events. The slope stability component of the model is limited by the lack of high-resolution soil properties, which are time-consuming and impractical to acquire using conventional methods. To overcome this limitation, this research proposed developing empirical relationships between sub-surface resistivity and soil properties, providing a regional-scale high-resolution soil property dataset for slope susceptibility assessment. Finally, a cloud-based LEWS was developed using Google Earth Engine, combining the rainfall threshold and high-resolution slope stability models, with the advantage of readily available near real-time data, processing power, user accessibility, and the opportunity for future updates.

Book excerpt: Recent landslide events demonstrate the need to improve landslide forecasting and early warning capabilities in order to reduce related risks and protect human lives. In this thesis, local and regional investigations were carried out to analyse landslide characteristics in the Swabian Alb region, and to develop prototypic landslide early warning systems. In the local study area, an extensive hydrological and slope movement monitoring system was installed on a seasonally reactivated landslide body located in Lichtenstein- Unterhausen. Monitoring data was analysed to assess the influence of rainfall and snow-melt on groundwater conditions, and the initiation of slope movements. The coupled hydrology-slope stability model CHASM was applied to detect areas most prone to slope failures, and to simulate slope stability using a variety of input data. Subsequently, CHASM was refined and two web-based applications were developed: a technical early warning system to constantly simulate slope stability integrating rainfall measurements, hydrological monitoring data and weather forecasts; and a decision-support system allowing for quick calculation of stability for freely selectable slope profiles. On the regional scale, available landslide inventory data were analysed for their use in evaluation of rainfall thresholds proposed in other studies. Adequate landslide events were selected and their triggering rainfall and snow-melting conditions were compared to intensity-duration and cumulative thresholds. Based on the results, a regional landslide early warning system was developed and implemented as a webbased application. Both, the local and the regional landslide early warning systems are part of a holistic and integrative early warning chain developed by the ILEWS project, and could easily be transferred to other landslide prone areas.
